Pair Charged With Auto Theft

Tamarac - Two men were arrested Saturday for car theft when police spotted one of the men trying to hide a set of car keys, police said.

Michael Joseph Nilio, 18, of 540 SW 62nd Ave., Margate, and Jason Rey Dahl, 18, of 7800 SW Ninth St., North Lauderdale, were being held Monday in Broward County Jail.

Police arrested the two men for loitering and prowling after stopping them in the parking lot of Palm Island Club apartments, 5071 Island Club Drive. The men told police, a report said, that they were out for a walk. When Nilio was seen trying to hide a set of car keys in the back of a police car, Dahl told police the keys were for a 1985 Buick parked nearby, which had been reported stolen from Pompano Beach, police said.
